I Peter
Chapter
5 {Note: Peter knows the disaster about to befall on these people - many of whom will die in the next year. These verses tell the Pastor-teachers what to do in times of adversity.}
2~~Feed
the flock of God among you . . .
3~~
Not so much as being bullies
4~~
And when the chief Shepherd {the Lord Jesus} {Note: This is the special wreath reward for pastors who bring their congregations along to spiritual maturity.}
{Verses
5-11: The Functions of the Congregation}
6-7~~
Having cast all your care on Him {Christ}, {Note: If God does not promote you, you are not promoted!}
8~~
Attain spiritual self esteem . . . {Note: The devil will gobble up carnal believers - without Bible doctrine metabolized in their soul}.
9~~
Whom resist
10~~
But The God of all grace {Note: Grace makes you spiritually self-sustaining.}
11~~To
Him {dative of dignity},
{Postscript
- like a signature - in Peter's own handwriting here}
13~~Those
in Babylon {Peter is in Babylon here - Rome} . . . {Note: In case this letter was intercepted, they would NOT easily know where Peter was writing from so the new 'Babylon' was used.} {SideNote: Just as Silvanus penned the words to most of this epistle for Peter, we may now assume that John Mark may have penned the Gospel of Mark under the guidance of Peter who actually experienced with Jesus what is described in 'Mark'. }
14~~Greet
you one another of the same kind ************************************************** Joshua_Sozo and Syndein are the Trademarks of Syndein a California DBA of Kenneth Sidley & Associates, Inc., a California Corporation.
